Tortex picks are carefully designed and manufactured to give the characteristic maximum memory and minimum wear that made the original tortoiseshell famous. Dunlop's Tortex guitar picks are available in a variety of shapes and gauges. One dozen.

I started playing guitar on Tortex's, and I'm going to use them for a very long time. Great all-around guitar picks. Nothing fancy, but they do their job well. Great picks. The grip surface is soft and smooth and actually works pretty well. They slip if you start playing super heavy with them, but that's not what they're designed for. The yellow (.73) is one of my go-to picks for guitar. I tend to stay away from anything thicker than that because the squared edges make a clicking sound that I don't like. A lot of people don't have a problem with it, but I just prefer to have smooth, round tone without any extra string noise.Excellent build quality. They're flexible and resilient, and they hardly wear at all. I've had the same yellow Tortex for 2 or so years now and it's worn less than half a millimeter. I don't like how the logo wears off very quickly, but it's not a big deal. Broken-in Tortex's look cool. I just wish they could stamp the logo into the pick rather than on the surface, like with the Gator Grips and Delrin 500's.The price is a pretty good price for a dozen of these well-made picks. And a dozen will last you a really long time.

I have tried several different Tortex picks of different thicknesses and of the ones I tried I like the .60 mm the best. Many people say these are easy to hold onto, but I find them to be just the opposite. To me they feel like they have a powder coating on them. The thicker the gauge the harder to hold. The orange .60mm hit the sweetspot with decent tone and fairly good grip. Maybe my hands are just drier than others, but I find the Dunlop Gels to be much easier to hang on to, and also have better tone.

Used these for years, thankfully they haven't changed. Whereas celluloid picks sharpen and consume themselves due to wear, these picks are very durable and last a very long time. Instead of a glossy texture like celluloid picks, these have a matte finish texture which helps me maintain a grip even with sweaty fingers. I use heavier gauge strings on my electric, so I prefer the 1.14mm and 1.0mm for that, and the thinner ones for acoustic. Choose a thickness that suits you best. If you don't like the color, buy the pitch black ones in your size.
